I quit smoking in the winter of when I was 26 and I didn't want to gain weight. I have an uncle who used to be heavyset and got into personal training so he would help me out when I first started and everything just progressed from there. Going to the gym became a new addiction and the fat started melting off and muscles I didn't know I had started to develop.

It helps relieve stress and makes me feel great. I never leave a workout thinking "man, I wish I didn't work out today." I love seeing results and watching my body transform.
